From the perfect arbitration of the Metropolitan to the important error of Mallorca

Matchday 22 of the First Division League included, in addition to a very solid Girona that kept up with Real Madrid without excessive difficulties and a Barcelona in free fall, several controversial plays worth analyzing. These were the most notable: Cádiz – Athletic Minute 90+3: Nico enters the area, they take the ball away from him and, later, Fali, who was going to defend the action, does not stop and voluntarily collides with him, putting his body in and arm. For me it does not amount to an expulsion but at least a yellow card and a penalty since the Cádiz player ignores the ball. Sevilla – Osasuna Minute 24: Goal by Sevilla from a throw-in in their favor, which is executed about ten meters further towards the opponent’s goal from where the ball came from. By regulation, the VAR cannot enter for a poorly executed throw-in or foul (either because it is from a different place than where it should be taken or because the ball is in motion), but it must be stricter so that throw-ins are executed from the right place. Minute 84: Suso enters, who sees the yellow. The VAR calls Cuadra Fernández and he, after seeing the monitor, cancels the yellow and shows him the red. Although the Sevilla player manages to touch the ball, the force used is excessive and he hits the opponent with his studs. Therefore the red one is correct. Atlético de Madrid – Valencia Minute 15: Lino’s header and the ball hits Foulquier’s arm. The action is inside the area but it is not a penalty since the ball goes towards the arm and it is close to the body and in a natural position. De Burgos lets continue. He gets it right. Minute 31: De Paul falls in the area before Gaya enters. He asks for a trip but there is nothing. This is how the referee understands it. Minute 36: They ask for a penalty for Savic’s handball after finishing off a Valencia player, but he doesn’t even hit him in the arm. Minute 70: De Burgos gives a penalty for Gaya tripping Molina. But really what the Valencia player does is clear the ball and the Atlético player pretends to have been hit. Thanks to the intervention of the VAR, the error is corrected by canceling the penalty. Mallorca – Betis Minute 30: Cardoso enters Samu, from Mallorca. Iglesias Villanueva calls a foul but does not take any disciplinary action. It is a tackle that endangers the opponent’s physical integrity, since he hits the Mallorca player’s knee with his studs. He injures her and after a few minutes she has to be replaced. The VAR should have come in because it is very clear red watching the replays, but it didn’t and therefore it is a major error.

The goalkeeper pushes the Brazilian and he tries to hit him with his arm. Subsequently, the Las Palmas player exaggerates and goes to the ground. The referee doesn’t sanction anything and I think that’s fine. Minute 30: Cardona falls inside the area after a dispute with Ceballos. For me it is a penalty because Ceballos places his foot in front of the Las Palmas player and by not touching the ball it should be considered a trip. Barcelona – Villarreal Minute 24: Goal disallowed by Gerard Moreno due to offside by Sorloth. The striker is in an offside position and interferes with the defensive movements of the Barcelona player. The goal was well canceled by the assistant. Minute 70: At 3-2 there is a dispute between Mandi and Araujo. It seems that the Barcelona player is leaning on the defender but previously the Villarreal player is holding onto the shirt. Therefore, the goal is legal.

The VAR calls him and after seeing the images they decide that there is a handball but he is not punishable. The ball hits the elbow of the Villarreal player, who is close to his body. Get it right by canceling the maximum penalty.
